Good Morning Everyone It has been revealed that eleven out of the twenty four Championship clubs are pressing the EFL for an extensive inquiry into spygate! The news comes as Norwich issued the following statement: “Following comments made by Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa this week, Norwich CIty and a number of Championship clubs have written to the EFL asking for full disclosure.” Hmmmm, at least we didn't paint our changing room pink to try and gain an advantage - yes, I know that is not against the rules, but neither was studying your opponents for afar! Who are the other 10 clubs who have written to the EFL? Name them, and if you're right you could win a prize (though the likelihood is extremely remote)!!! Let's start off by saying Bristol City are a safe bet! Yet another Leeds sending off at the weekend! Was it a justified second yellow card or can Jansson count himself very unlucky? According to Phil Hay Leeds are stepping up their interest in Swansea winger Daniel James. The talented Welsh International remains their number 1 target in the January transfer window. Another poor performance from on loan winger Jack Harrison at the weekend. The 22 yo has scored twice this season, though according to the stats is yet to be credited with an assist! In contrast, Alioski has netted 5 times, with 4 assists! Should Leeds send him back to Citeh, and try to exchange him for someone else? Has Luke Ayling been found out in Bielsa's system? The fans favourite seems to be off the pace, and sticking out like a sore thumb since coming back from injury!
Morning Elland my opinion on Ayling is the same as ever. Never thought he was that good and could never see what the fuss was about. Bielsa has already stated beradi can pass the ball out of defence so maybe he will come back in at sometime. Harrison is a waste of a shirt and must look premier league in training. If we are in for a winger with pace then we have wasted 21 days due to penny pinching. Norwich have enquired for claification on derbygate public land no offence commited. Whole thing is a joke. I have read comments from leeds fans on forums saying they would accept a fine. Well i would accept nothing and fight any punishment. But will gutless rads back bielsas methods.
These 11 clubs are trying to get an advantage over us hoping we get a points deduction. Pontus should never have been booked for the second time, another inept ref, or he was following orders from the corrupt EFL Good morning everyone
Morning all.We seem to be developing Bipolar on this board euphoria at the great performance against Derby and depression after defeat at Stoke. Leeds were below par but not as bad as some say. This happens when a team is in development. Our expectations were high after Derby but we must accept that we are not yet Barcelona.
Two sloppy, gifted goals cost us, we were well below par Stoke just edged it in my opinion, they bullied us, a world class save by Butland and Alioskis goal it could easily been a diferent result even though we didnt play well oh and another bent ref didnt help our cause
I think the difference on Saturday was it was the first time in a long long time that we were actually outplayed. Stoke couldn't do a thing wrong, probably their best performance of the season.
Morning all Dan James looks a talent and if anyone has missed the video I posted yesterday, its on the Weekend Thread page 4. I reckon he needs fitter forwards than the lazy twats at Swansea looking at the vid. Not too bothered about the 11 clubs as it seems we already have a massive defence and Jose' talking publicly yesterday about sneaking into the dressing room when he was banned, shows Lampard as a lazy lying twat and everyone breaks rules. Pullis getting team sheets. There are more ex players on our side than the pundits against and this could blow up in the faces of the FA/EFL. I would however also argue that the rules were broken this weekend by Reading, Brentford and Bristol City who have club Directors on the boards of the FA/EFL and they are supposed to be impartial and not get involved in speaking about other clubs. Oh dear.....
The one I attended. 64% possession but admittedly no cutting edge. Continual probing with the final ball usually lacking.
Morning all. Sick and tired of spygate now. Wish it would just get sorted so we can move on. Im afraid Doc, I wont watch that James video if you dont mind. I watched Harrison ones when he joined and he looked mint, he was useless as it turned out. Ive no idea if James is good or bad but what will count is what hes like when he pulls on a Leeds shirt. One things for sure, well likely be depending mainly on our current lads for the next few weeks and a few wins are now a must having lost three of last four
Morning all... I have a feeling because of Spygate the refs are going to give us a tricky time for the remainder of the season, don't expect any 50/50s to go our way. We feel stressed as fans wondering what the outcome must be, the players and staff must feel it even worse, we need it sorted and resolved asap the longer it drags on the more of a negative effect it might have on our season
Ristac we already get a hard time from refs. How many penalties have been turned down ( still only had 1 in 15 months when the average is one every 7 games) we have had yellows handed out that didn't deserve and reds too. We have been flagged for offside when not and that means goals ruled out. We have also seen some crunching challenges gone unpunished.
Good Morning to Matt and co from a frosty Bardsey First of all I would like to thank Doc for the video of Dan .The kid is extremely confident pace to burn and a good crosser of the ball he will be a great asset to ushope he plays at Rotherham. I still think we need a striker an for this sorry Walt I can't help it I have picked a very classy player in Nelson Oliveira.Gives us height can act as a target man sublime skills and at 27 is still young enough for me.Would give us an alternative to Roofe Bmaford is a lame duck and I doubt he will be back this season. Issie too looks like he will be lucky to play more than half a dozen games So I have gone for a CB as my third signing Mings at Bournemouth .We need to ,loan him as he is injury prone but at 6 ,4 a man mountain which will be useful at set pieces
